Happy After Parting With You

Chapter 5

Today I will secure the assets of the house as well as some of Mama's relic jewelry. Last night I called Mira to take me to the bank, yes, I plan to save everything to a safe deposit box.

Although the secret place Papa made was effective for storing all the letters and jewelry, still I was afraid that one day they would find the place.

Before leaving I had brought the provisions prepared by my mother. Since yesterday mom took over the kitchen and all the home business. I know this is just his wits so I want to give the house letter that Mas Ilham asked for.

However, this moment also will not be wasted, not bad, right, my work so reduced a lot. It's not me who told you either.

"Mas, I'm leaving first, yeah."

My interest in Mas Ilham who knows what he is doing now. It seems like he was texting someone.

"Mas!" Shake me when she doesn't heed my words.

"Eh, i-iya, Deck, be careful, honey."

Ilham stood up and stretched out his hand to kiss. Tumben, usually he'll just say yes when I say goodbye to leaving. This time he also added the word 'honey', something he rarely even barely did.

I went to work with various thoughts raging in my head. Honestly, I was too overthinking. Moreover, there are many changes that have happened to Mas Ilham.

For example, he suddenly called me affection, but usually never. I'm afraid that bad thoughts are coming true.

During the office break, Mira and I headed to the bank where I would store my securities and jewelry.

"Are you sure of this decision?"

"Yes, I don't want my parents to be taken away by them."

"Well, I support all your decisions."

I'm lucky to have Mira, a friend I've taken for granted like family. After submitting the file and filling out the form, I can now breathe a sigh of relief. Because I've kept my valuables to the right place.

"Ran, what if Ilham really cheated?"

Mira's question made me shut up, I never thought Mas Ilham would do something like this. During my marriage to her I have been trying to fulfill my duty to be a good wife.

I have never demanded anything, nor am I too demanding if until now he has not got a job.

"I haven't thought I've been there yet."

"But you also have to take care, Rin. It's not that I'm going to make you feel suspicious about your husband. But what's called just in case there's no harm, right."

Right, I need to be careful from now on. Because the signs heading there already seem to be there.

"You never ask what your husband's activities are outside of that why?"

"No, he just said he was looking for work or an interview at his friend's office."

"Did he get a job now?"

I shook my head weakly, in fact until now Mas Ilham has not shown any signs that he has been accepted for work.

"No, you need to figure this out. Where he went and who was the same. If you need to tap it on her phone."

Why don't I think I'm going there.

"Yes too, yeah."

"That's why you're a wife, don't be so innocent."

There is no harm in me also follow the advice of Mira, coming home from work later I will tap Mas Ilham's phone. Anyway, I should know what his activities are while outside. And if he's really having an affair, just look I won't give him mercy.

***

I accidentally heard the mother-in-law's chat with Mas Ilham. They don't seem to realize I'm home.

"He's getting crazy about Ilham, Mom, and he wants Ilham to propose to him immediately."

I smother my mouth in disbelief, have you Mas.

"What is your wife?"

"Ah, for Rina, it's easy."

"What part, anyway, do you expect from a barren woman like her, it's good that she's been working all this time if she doesn't eat what we are."

"Yeah, Inspiration, anyway, as long as Rina can still be used why not. Inspiration is still lazy to work, Mom."

Astaghfirullah azim thing, I stroked my chest hearing my husband's words. Ah, it is still worth mentioning her husband. My chest was rumbling, right, my guess. The reason Mas Ilham cheated is because we have not yet been able to have a baby.

But this is not my fault, right, Mas Ilham himself always refused when I checked fertility. Who knows if one of us is in trouble.

"Assalamualaik."

While suppressing the tightness in the chest I pretended not to hear their talk.

"Waalaikumsalam is home, Rin."

Mom seemed to welcome me with a smile, ah, if that smile was not a fake smile for sure I would be happy to get this kind of attention.

"Yes, Mom."

It was hard to be okay in front of them. I feel like I can't stand it and want to berate them right now.

"Yes you took a shower first, mom cooked your favorite food."

"Yes." I replied briefly as I stepped towards the room. I turned to my husband who was sitting on the couch playing his phone.

He looked like a madman laughing to himself while reading a message. I don't know what's funny and gets his attention.

***

Towards bedtime Mas Ilham did not enter the room. I intend to see him out. I looked in the living room was not there, on the front porch of the house was not there. Then I heard like the sound of people singing from inside the bathroom.

I went in and went to the source of the sound, it turned out that Mas Ilham was in the bathroom. Then I saw his phone lying on the kitchen table.

Immediately I approached the phone and tried to open it, apparently in the key. I began to think about what the password was to unlock it.

I thought hard, what about? Mas Ilham is the type of person who easily forgets, so surely he will create a password that is easy to remember. I have to find him quickly before Mas Ilham comes out of the bathroom.

I turned my brain back, looking for the right answer to unlock the password earlier. Ahah! I tried typing his birth date and bingo! Cellphone's open.

Luckily I've set up a messaging app before, and now I just need to connect. It's finished! I managed to combine the two applications before Mas Ilham came out.

I quickly darted away back to the room, not forgetting I keyed Mas Ilham's phone again so that he did not realize if I had tampered with it earlier.

In the room I started to open the app, but before I actually read it I put my phone on my chest while saying a prayer.

I opened slowly and instantly my eyes were wide in disbelief at what I saw through the messages.
